Boating Safety

If you are required to carry distress signals, you must have three USCG approved pyrotechnic devices. Be sure they are in serviceable condition, not exceeding the expiration date and stored in a cool, dry location in a waterproof container. Have enough signals on board to last three days.

!WARNING Pyrotechnic signaling devices can cause fire and / or explosion, death, serious injury and property damage if improperly handled. Follow the manufacturer’s directions.
